Closest focus  is 80cm from the outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the program wheel of the camera.

Although this is an older lens which can be found for low prices, it's decent. Wide open it's fine for F 2, stopped down it's sharp. The lens has no close focussing capablities. It is relatively small and lightweight, particularly for a F 2 lens. A nice lens which offers 1 usable stop more than standard.
